Suzuki Australia has responded swiftly to the European NCAP result for its upcoming all-new Celerio compact hatchback.
The Suzuki Celerio barrier tested in Europe did not have side impact airbags and recorded only a 3-star rating.
However Suzuki Celerios to be sold in Australia from early next year will have dual side airbags (as well as seatbelt reminders for the rear seat occupants) - Suzuki Australia these measures will see its newcomer match the 4-star safety rating of the current Alto model.
“Suzuki Australia place(s) vehicle safety as an absolute priority and always ensure(s) our vehicles for Australian customers are fitted with the highest possible safety features for the segment as evidenced in our seven-airbag Swift,” explained local Suzuki boss Andrew Moore in a statement. “The new Celerio will be no exception and will feature dual front, side and curtain airbags, electronic stability control and more as standard.
